“…Each oyster species has an optimal salinity concentration for growth, with 15-18 ppt (parts per thousand), 20-25 ppt, 20 ppt and 25-35 ppt being the optimal range for C. virginica, C. gigas, O. edulis and S. glomerata respectively (Nell and Holliday, 1988;Wallace, 2001;FAO, 2016a;. Shifts from these optimal ranges can occur following rainfall events, periods of extended drought, tidal changes and from wind-driven flow (Geyer, 1997;Drexler and Ewel, 2001;Schmidt and Luther, 2002;Da Costa et al, 2016).…”

“…Further, floods and droughts are also expected that can affect the transitional ecosystems, such as the mangroves. Shifts www.mercator.ufc.br ROSSI, S.; SOARES, M. O. in salinity, organic matter, contaminants, and nutrients induced by extreme floods and droughts have drastic effects on mangroves (PEREIRA et al 2013;COSTA et al 2016;SLOTERDIJK et al 2017).…”

“…Floods and droughts commonly control the estuarine water flow, growth of mangrove forests, salinity, and transfer of material from the mainland to the sea. Recent reviews (MARENGO & ES-PINOZA 2016; in salinity, organic matter, contaminants, and nutrients induced by extreme floods and droughts have drastic effects on mangroves (PEREIRA et al 2013;COSTA et al 2016;SLOTERDIJK et al 2017).…”

“…In the Amazon coast, the ecology of estuaries with large mangrove forests was affected by the droughts caused by El Niño. During severe drought periods, higher than normal salinity occurred mainly during the dry season (COSTA et al 2016). Reduced rainfall decrease the fluvial contribution to the ocean and increase the salinity of estuaries located in the tropical coasts of Africa, Australia, and Brazil.…”
